Title: Wrinkle's workbench
Post by: wrinklestiltskin on August 29, 2014, 07:50:08 AM: Hey Guys,

I backed the Wolsung kickstarter; previous to that I bought these two figures to see if I liked working with their miniatures. Being used to GW plastics, I didn't like working with Mantics restic/hard plastics. As I have minimal experience working with metal miniatures, I wanted to make sure I liked the medium. (Probably hard to imagine on the lead adventure forum :D )

The Micro art studio minatures are great! For me they made painting enjoyable again. To me painting is a chore, especially if there are tons of details and stuff. These miniatures have the right amount of details; are not cluttered with them, and the clothing has great texture to work with. But overall you can get them painted in a relative short amount of time.

These are Ash & Oak members, I pledged for a few more, but the majority of my pledge is going into the inventors club as I thought they were the most steampunk faction. So hopefully I can get cracking on those before the end of the year. Untill then I'll be concentration on some terrain.

Made this warband on looks, but I think rules wise it's ok. Mary, Sir Zach and the relative can boost eachother. The butler and bruiser provide protection. I don't think I've ever played anything this shooty in any game system.

Thank you for moving it here.

It is certainly worthy of its new home on this board.

Lovely stuff. :)

Roger that.

Those paint jobs REALLY sell those figures!

The lass is shameless, though.

Post by: wrinklestiltskin on January 04, 2015, 09:15:44 AM: Lol, not sure how to answer that one. o_o

If I were to rate my current painting, I'd say I'm at the level I had after two to three years of painting. With a frequency of painting about three to four evenings a week. I read books and coolminiornot tutorials to get better at it, so ...... lol

Just have fun dude, the rest will come.
